>>Well, I've ordered the big one here...http://www.newark.com/ideal-tek/pcsa-4/pcb-assembly-jig-esd/dp/34M7931

That's the exact one i have.

Be warned, the design is slightly odd, in that it has bits sticking out the bottom, for mounting.  Without removing these, you have 
to use it on the edge of a table (which is generally fine, as thats where you want to use it)  Its just a bit odd is all...

Pro's and con's though over the rapid/farnell one - the red one you can hold the boards vertical when trimming, and all the rubbish 
falls into the tray below.

Work out some way to affix a fan to the edge too, to suck or blow away the fumes from the iron.  Makes life more pleasent : )
